This time it's War! The battle for the smallest trophy in sport begins!

Alas, Ricky of Australia longs not for the dawn as we do.

He may be a little long in the tooth, and we may be down in form, but while there are pommy bastards whose ribs need cracking, it's game on! :lay:

I look to see bitter tears run down Ponting's cheeks. Strauss is no Jardine but he will do.

After all the trivial crap on the forum recently, here is a battle worthy of pain!

Perhaps we can make those Yankees understand the sublime passion of cricket!

Or is that a bridge too far...?

Cricket is shit. It's this sort of thread that drives people away from forums. :nono:

I saw that.

It's hilarious, the stunt has been pulled before a number of times but the moment the Australian Cricket team does it suddenly they have to 'enforce the law'... despite the fact that it was a projection so no actual vandalism was done.

Hrum...

Yep true, "philistine" is that cunts middle name. Cricket is the sport of the gods, if there was was such a thing that is.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
